David,
the closest I get to "Outlook" is in MsOffice97. However, from install, I have
its Outlook97-program disabled, as I never used it.
But from digging memory and this "office for dummies"-book I know that
what you would like is impossible to establish.
The Outlook-taskbar can only function WITHIN Outlook-windows, eg. you must
be running Outlook first, then have its window open for the taskbar to be seen
and to provide you with its functionality.
Basicaly, what you would like, is Metastocks' standard left-side taskbar, the one
with f.i. the "drawing lines"-buttons, to be available in other Win95-programs too.
Other programs might contain the same abilities/look-a-likes(MsPaint) but any
'exchanging'/inter-acting between the programs' pencils/workbars, for example,
is impossible.
Due to both and also other programs' interfaces, this is out of the question. They
are two seperate build-in programs' tools, progammed without any
inter-exchangability.
The Office-taskbar however is as an EXE-file, a stand-alone, seperate "of any other
programs" running taskbar(besides depending on Win95).
The links are nothing else then the ordinairy "shortcut to"-links as we know in Win95,
displayed/accessable on a 1 cm wide taskbar(with minor differences much like the
Win95-taskbar).
On this taskbar, shortcuts to TASKS(small-iconed links) and folders(big-iconed links)
can be made 'and arranged accordingly'.
If programs will let themselves be accessed to run tasks from the start-up-line(Run), then
links can be made, to run them f.i. as TASKS.
Many programs, mainly because of the Windows environment, will NOT though.
To test if Outlook is capable, you will have to do a run "on just any" Outlook TASK.
This will require for you to know the right parameters though.
On-line help/manual/additional books should be able to provide you with these.
Then:
In Win95, go to Start\Run and type in the full adress of the Outlook98-program(exe) and
the tasks' parameters. If succesfull, then make the links, with the "Run-line" full details as
its "linked to"-adress.
The Microsoft Knowledge base(search on Outlook) and Outlook98 News Groups will
be the best way to get more right (parameter) info(if at all available, that is).
http://search.microsoft.com/
For News groups see your email-program/ISP.

>>Outlook98, if that is the same taskbar as in Office97 then:
>>
>>When taskbar is "Not Availble":
>>-In Win95-explorer go to the main Office97-folder("C:\Program
>Files\Microsoft Office97")
>>and double-click the "Microsoft Office Taskbar"-link
>>-If not present, then go to the Office-program file "MSOFFICE.EXE" and
>double-click
>>(to be found at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSOFFICE.EXE")
>>-This will enable the Taskbar, and in the message following, get it to

>>Or:
>>-If not present, create a new link in the small quickmenu by right-clicking

>>at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSOFFICE.EXE"
>>-"Cut & Paste" the link from the "Office"-folder to the Windows start-menu
>folder
>>(at "C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up\")
>>-Reboot Win95/computer

>>"When Available":
>>When displayed at your Desktop, configure the taskbar by going to the

>>
>>Note that you can "Add" your favourite folders to the Office97-taskbar

>the top of your screen
>>or to the left or right, and multi-clicking for charts is then
>available(only have to do 1x click per chart).
>>
>>If Office is not installed then check-up in your
>Outlook-manual/online-help. Search for instance
>>for plain "taskbar" or "startup" or "desktop" or "configure" etc.
>>I'm not familiar with the setup of single stand-alone "Office-programs".
